SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – Fabio Simon Younes
Arboleda was indicted, with
four others, for trying to
import 10,000 pounds of
cocaine from Colombia into the
United States.
On November
17, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Valerie E. Caproni
held an arraignment and bail
hearing. Inner City Press
covered it.
The US
Attorney's office emphasized
the defendant's connections
with Seuxis Paucis
Hernandez-Solarte a/k/a Jesus
Santrich, of the FARC in
Colombia. Reference was made
to Maduro of Venezuela, and
the Sinaloa cartel in
Mexico.
The
argument for bail was that he
could live in Florida, near
Orlando.
But Judge
Caproni did not go along - she
denied bail, and set the next
proceeding for December 4.
Now on
November 27 in advance of that
proceeding Younes' lawyer has
written to Judge Caproni that
"he consents to be appearing
solely via counsel" and that
his own cell phone number has
by the Westchester County Jail
been "designated for
attorney-client communications
and not subject to recording."
Watch thi ssite.
The overall
case is US v.
Hernandez-Solarte, et al.,
18-cr-262 (Caproni)
